It Was Going To Be A Bib

This was supposed to be a bib. And it was supposed to say My First Halloween. Everything was going along fine until the thread broke. I rethreaded and started again and the thread broke again. So I rethreaded again and the thread broke again. I rethreaded one more time, hit the start button and watched the thread break yet again. Only this time I saw that the hoop wasn't moving so I looked under it and saw the jam. Not a pretty sight and not something that is easily fixed.

I'm feeling pretty frustrated because I haven't made anything in 3 weeks. The sachets I made yesterday didn't turn out either. One of them started shredding at the seam when I turned it right side out and the other one was too small to even turn. I was making them out of a vintage hankie and there isn't much of it left! It was really pretty too.

Oh well! Tomorrow is another day. And I will make something I'm proud of!!

'Nette; I think you write pretty well and encourage you to write longer, more complex narratives that explore an idea or, perhaps, explain some realization that you've had. You have a lot to say and practice will only improve your writing....Love, MLB

I hate it when that happens. There was a time when it seemed like that would happen more often than not when I was sewing. Somehow I got the hang of that crappy machine, and to think, now I want a NEW ONE...

I recently bought an industrial serger and I have spent so much time trying to make it work it is ridiculous.
